Earth gets an unlikely intergalactic representative in the first full trailer for the new Pixar movie Elio.
Disney released the trailer Wednesday ahead of the films theatrical release on June 20. The voice cast includes Yonas Kibreab, Jameela Jamil, Brad Garrett, Zoe Saldaa, Remy Edgerly and Shirley Henderson.
Elio centers on the titular 11-year-old (Kibreab), who is mistaken for the ruler of Earth when he is beamed up to join an interplanetary group that includes representatives from various galaxies. Im trying to get abducted by aliens, Elio said in a teaser trailer that Disney released late last year. Im supposed to be up there.
Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian helmed Elio after initial writer-director Adrian Molinas exit. Mary Alice Drumm produces the film.
Elio was first scheduled for release on March 1, 2024, before its debut was delayed. New footage from the film was shown during D23 in August.
During a previous interview with YouTube show Kids First, Kibreab said he expected the film to spur a variety of feelings from audiences. Theyre gonna feel all different kinds of emotions, he said at the time. Theyre gonna be laughing, theyre gonna maybe tear up I dont know and theyre also just gonna be super happy because the movie is just generally a very funny and exciting movie.
Pixar is coming off the success of Inside Out 2, which hit theaters in June and became the highest-grossing title of 2024 at the global box office. It was also nominated for the Oscar for best animated feature.
